DUMPLINGS WITH GINGER DIPPING SAUCE
These dumplings are perfect and the dipping sauce is exquisite. The flavors just explode in your mouth. You can increase the red pepper flakes to 1/2 to 3/4 tsp. It also works well if you substitute ground chicken for the pork, and/or madeira for the sherry. I also prefer to steam them in a 'bamboo steamer' for about 7 minutes. Be sure to lube the steamer with cooking spray, otherwise they stick. It can be time-consuming to fold all of the wontons, so it could be a good idea to keep the folded, yet-to-be-cooked wontons covered with a damp towel until you're ready to cook 'em all. Note: I like them much better fried LOL!

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- In a small bowl, mix the dipping sauce ingredients, stirring until the sugar dissolves; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix the pork, scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, sherry, gingerroot and garlic.
- Place the wonton skins on a work surface and cover them with a damp towel.
- Remove the wonton skins 1 at a time and place about 1 teaspoon filling in the center; do no overstuff or the wontons won't seal securely.
- Moisten the edges of the wontons with water. Bring 2 opposite corners to the center, pinching the points to seal, then bring remaining 2 corners to center, pinching the points to seal.
- Repeat with the remaining wonton skins and filling.
- Add the wontons in batches (if you add too many at once they may stick together) to the boiling water. Stir gently with a wooden spoon and bring back to a boil; boil 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the wontons to a platter.
- Serve with a dipping sauce.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dumplings.
- Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until it comes together.
- Be careful not to overfill the dumplings. If you overfill them, they will be difficult to seal and they will fall apart when you cook them.
- Cook the dumplings in a well-seasoned pan. This will help to prevent them from sticking.
- Serve the dumplings immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
